[Wsssc] Grant Opportunity: Access360

[Orchard, Sue]

Hi all-

I'll just put a plug in for this grant. There was funding to send a team to two state trainings and some left over for small accessiblity projects (a couple of thousand). The benchmarking tool and team time helped LCC tremendously in moving our accessible technology workplan forward.

Best,
Sue

Hi Joe,

Could you send this to Student Services Commission?
____
We’re really excited to announce that the State Board will be funding another round of Access360 grants to support colleges as they develop and implement accessible technology policies and practices.

Access360 offers a yearlong mentorship opportunity for cross-functional campus teams as they implement accessibility policies on a broad scale to effectively, efficiently and equitably serve students, employees, and community members. Participation in Access 360 will help campuses


·         create (or strengthen) how your cross functional team works collaboratively to ensure successful implementation of accessibility policies and practices on your campus;

·         find time, space, and generative structures so your team can identify achievable goals and a realistic plan;

·         provide scheduled support and accountability as your team moves through its plan to fully realize your campus goals.

To learn more about Access360 and review the Grant Guidelines please visit the Access360<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/elearning-open-education/access360.aspx> website.
